Electronic Devices on CVD Diamond

  • Chapter
Low-Pressure Synthetic Diamond

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Processing ((SSMATERIALSPROC))

Abstract

At least since the late 1980s, almost all papers dealing with diamond electronics have started with a sentence such as

“diamond is a potential material for high-temperature, high-power and high-speed electronic applications ….”

This expectation originates from the physical, chemical, and electronic properties as measured for undoped (type IIa) or lightly (ç1016cm-3) boron doped (type lib) natural diamond samples (Table 17.1). Due to these properties, diamond is a promising material for three fields of application: high-power electronics, high-temperature electronics, and smart sensors for extreme environment. In this chapter, the high-temperature and high-power applications will be addressed.
